Programmatically sending a telegramme to a group address

[Warichet]

Hello,

How can I programmatically send a telegramme to a group address, without additional hardware ?

I didn't find a clue in the forum. My requests for help yielded nothing. So, this will be my last chance before giving up.

So far, all my attempts failed. I've read plenty of documents but I would like to hear/read over a practical and working example even in it's most simplest form.

Thank you in advance
Raymond

My config: W2K Pro SP4, IE6, Off XP SP3, ETS3 0d patch A, Merten RS232 serial I/F

Very simple:

FT1.2 serial and www.dehof.de/eib (http://www.dehof.de/eib)

Thank you Matthias for this quick answer.
I (slowly) start to understand my misery.
You say FT1.2, my I/F is a BCU1.:( , sooo I had no chance.

Do you know if the Gira USB 1070 is a BCU2, supporting FT1.2 ?
A pitty the doc doesn't say (at least, I didn't find it)

Thanks again

No, I don't think that USB devices will support FT1.2 mode.

OK. Back to square 1
I thought USB devices had a much better transfer rate then the RS232, hence I deducted it had to do with BCU2 (probably wrong assumption).

Can you please recommend a type 2 BCU, supporting FT1.2 ? Merten, my favorite supplier doesn't have it.

Thank you for your patience

USB interfaces can be based on BCU 1, BCU 2 or anything else.

ALL BCU 2 support FT 1.2.

USB may use EMI 1 with a BCU 1 or BCU 2, EMI 2 wih a BCU 2, but also cEMI, depending on the connected device.
